I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2229 Blue Enchantress
Chen Lin checked it.

Upon discovering that this was not river water but seawater, their eyes lit up. This must be an underground fissure connected to the sea. If they followed the river, they could enter the dark sea.

Don't worry about getting lost.

Calm down.

Chen Lin unleashed his spiritual perception and sped along the river.

He encountered two monsters from the Mangjing realm along the way, but he instantly eliminated them both. Then, he proceeded smoothly, and as expected, the end of the river led to the deep sea.

Got here.

Chen Lin dared not linger underwater any longer. He immediately used runes to protect himself, rushed straight to the surface, and then transformed into a streak of light, shooting off in the southeast direction.

one year later.

After traveling to several places, Chen Lin suddenly appeared and landed at the gate of a city.

"So this is Yuming City! How magnificent!"

As Chen Lin landed, Zhao Meng looked towards the city gate, her eyes filled with anticipation and relief.

The journey was fraught with danger, keeping her constantly on edge. Now that she has finally reached her destination, she can finally live a peaceful life.

Chen Lin's expression relaxed.

He was genuinely afraid that the city would cease to exist.

After darkness descends, the destruction of cities becomes commonplace. Even the presence of a Wheel Realm expert is of no use; once a powerful monster sets its sights on a city, destruction is imminent.

As long as the city remains, Hua Yi and the others have a chance to survive.

"Let's go into the city."

Chen Lin gave a shout and strode into the city.

He didn't inquire about the city beforehand because after a year of familiarization, he was certain that even if his strength wasn't comparable to that of the Wheel Realm, the difference wouldn't be too significant.

It would be difficult for Lun Jing to kill him.

The main reason is the defense sequence derived from bone fragments.

With this rune sequence, his defense is comparable to that of a Wheel Realm cultivator. Unless one is in the late Wheel Realm, no one can do anything to him.

The three Wheel Realm cultivators in this city are all at the initial stage.

Information about the three people flashed through Chen Lin's mind.

The Wheel Realm is divided into nine ranks. The Mountain-Suppressing King is rank one, Thunder is rank two, and the strongest is Wind and Snow, who has rank three cultivation in the Wheel Realm.

However, Feng Xue is a very aloof woman who rarely contacts anyone and has only a few disciples to help her manage affairs within her controlled area.

Therefore, the three will not join forces.

In addition to the defensive sequence, he also combined a set of offensive rune sequences through continuous experimentation throughout the year.

Chen Lin gently clenched his fist.

As the runes flickered, they formed a dagger, its entire body a deep blue, giving it a very eerie feel.

Chen Lin was also puzzled by this.

His natal runes were colorful, and the runes he used to condense the dagger were also of various colors, but when combined, they turned into pure blue.

Fortunately, that's how it is.

Without this change, he wouldn't have discovered that the sequence was useful; it was purely accidental.

Once such a change occurred, he couldn't help but notice it. He immediately began to study and experiment repeatedly, and after countless adjustments, he finally managed to condense the dagger.

Chen Lin called it the 'Blue Enchantress'.

Because once this dagger is released, it will generate an extremely strong alluring power, capable of disturbing the enemy's mind and making them forget to resist.

The effect is strong.

of course.

Compared to the defense sequences obtained from bone fragments, it is far inferior and not on the same level.

This led Chen Lin to a conjecture.

Runes that condense into a single-color sequence have lower power, while those that are multicolored have higher power, and the more colors there are, the stronger the power.

Because the bone fragments, when combined, produce nine colors, he named it 'Nine-Layer Armor' to highlight its superior defensive capabilities.

Chen Lin knew that his guess might not be correct.

After all, we only know two arrangements so far, so we can't see anything. Maybe the number of colors doesn't matter at all. He's overthinking it.

"Show your identification token!"

As soon as he stepped through the city gate, a guard in soft armor blocked his path and spoke coldly to Chen Lin. Chen Lin loosened his grip, and the dagger naturally disintegrated, its fine runes merging into his body.

He glanced at the other person.

He said calmly, "I remember you didn't need a token to enter the city, right? When did you change the rule?"

The guard raised a thick eyebrow.

"That's ancient history. Now you need an identity token to enter the city to prevent monsters from sneaking in and causing trouble. If you don't have a token, you can get one, but you'll need to undergo inspection."

"Then let's get one done."

Chen Lin didn't want to get entangled with a guard, nor was he afraid of being checked. After paying a considerable fee, he got an identity token for both himself and Zhao Meng.

Then I learned that...

Besides having an identity token, you also have to pay to live in the city. Otherwise, you have to accept the missions issued by the three major forces to obtain the right to live, especially in the inner city, where the cost is very high.

However expensive it may be, Chen Lin can afford it.

Moreover, he returned this time intending to establish his own independent force and create a fourth power, so that he could also get a share of the fees collected in the future.

Without thinking too much about it, he stepped into the city.

The first thing to do is to activate the Heavenly Eye and observe the surrounding scenery.

There haven't been any major changes.

However, the outer city area has expanded considerably, and the number of cultivators has increased significantly, making it somewhat noisy.

There was no delay.

Chen Lin led Zhao Meng straight to Qingyang Mountain.

About twenty years have passed since he entered the Linglong Sect's secret realm, and it's unknown whether he's still around.

He doesn't care about the life or death of others, but he is determined to find Hua Yi.

"Ok?"

As soon as Chen Lin arrived near the hill, his expression turned cold.

Qingyang Mountain has changed dramatically. All the buildings they built back then have disappeared, the mountain has grown much taller, and it is now surrounded by lush greenery and towering trees.

The interior was shrouded in mist, creating a rather picturesque atmosphere.

Most importantly, in his soul perception, there were at least a hundred cultivators on the mountain, but none of them were familiar to him.

Hua Yi, Hua Qianyu, Sun Shenggu, Bai Qingshui.

None of the four people were present.

With a flick of his hand, Chen Lin unleashed a surge of intricate runes, and his aura became increasingly sharp.

Twenty years is not a short time, but it's not enough for them to exhaust their lifespan, especially Hua Yi, whose lifespan is linked to his master.

None of the four people were there. Either they had perished and the place had been taken over by others, or they had left Yuming City.

But it was inevitably forced upon them.

"Follow me."

Chen Lin called out to Zhao Meng and strode towards the mountain gate.

If the people here are related to the disappearance of Hua Yi and the others, then he will use this place as a starting point to begin his struggle for power.

"May I ask your name, and if you have a formal invitation?"

A young gatekeeper stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting to Chen Lin, and asked in a very gentle tone.

Seeing this, Chen Lin suppressed his coldness.

He raised his hand and said, "I'd like to ask, is this Qingyang Mountain? Where did the people who used to live here go?"

The young man was taken aback.

He sized up Chen Lin and said, "Are you referring to someone from the Kaiyuan Sect?"

"They moved outside the city a long time ago. This place has been sold to our Golden Saber Sect. If you want to find them, go to Qing Shi Gang outside the city."

Chen Lin felt relieved upon hearing this.

Whether inside or outside the city, as long as no one dies, it's fine.

Moreover, the other party mentioned the Kaiyuan Sect.

That means Hua Yi is still alive; no one else would think of that name except Hua Yi.

There was no delay.

After asking for directions, Chen Lin led Zhao Meng back out of the city and headed straight for Qing Shi Gang.
